Lesson 13: TERM 1 REVIEW

KEY VERSE TO MEMORIZE

"All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work." - 2 Timothy 3:16-17

LESSON 1: WELCOME TO BIBLE STUDY

You learned to approach Bible study with humility, prayer, and consistency. Remember that God's Word is a lamp to your feet and a light for your path.

LESSON 2: THE NATURE OF GOD

You discovered that God has amazing attributes that make Him worthy of worship:

• God is spirit - not limited by physical form

• God is eternal - always has existed and always will

• God is unchanging - His character never varies

• God is all-knowing - nothing is hidden from Him

• God is holy - completely pure and separate from sin

• God is love - this defines His very nature

• God is just - perfectly fair in all His ways

• God is merciful - shows compassion we don't deserve

LESSON 3: THE TRINITY

You learned that God exists as three persons in one divine essence:

• The Father is fully God

• The Son (Jesus) is fully God

• The Holy Spirit is fully God

• Yet there is only one God, not three gods

All three persons work together in creation, salvation, and Christian life.

LESSON 4: SCRIPTURE AND REVELATION

You discovered how God makes Himself known:

• General revelation comes through creation and conscience

• Special revelation comes through Scripture and God's acts in history

• Scripture is "God-breathed" and inspired by the Holy Spirit

• The Bible is truthful, authoritative, sufficient, and clear

LESSON 5: THE AUTHORITY OF SCRIPTURE

You learned why the Bible has supreme authority:

• Scripture's authority comes from God, not humans

• Jesus and the apostles affirmed Scripture's authority

• Scripture is the final judge of truth

• Human authorities, traditions, and experiences must submit to Scripture

LESSON 6: CREATION AND HUMANITY

You studied our origins and purpose:

• God created everything by His word, and it was good

• Humans are uniquely made in God's image

• Both male and female equally bear God's image

• We were created for relationship with God and stewardship of creation

• Every human has dignity and worth because of God's image

LESSON 7: THE FALL AND SIN

You learned how sin entered the world:

• Adam and Eve were created perfect but chose to disobey God

• Sin is disobedience to God and falling short of His standard

• Sin brought spiritual death, physical death, and corrupted human nature

• All humans inherit a sinful nature and are in need of salvation

LESSON 8: GOD'S PLAN OF SALVATION

You discovered God's amazing plan to save humanity:

• God's love motivated His plan to save sinful humanity

• Jesus became human to live the perfect life we couldn't live

• Jesus died as our substitute, taking our punishment

• Jesus rose from the dead, proving victory over sin and death

• Salvation requires hearing, believing, repenting, confessing, and being baptized

LESSON 9: THE PERSON OF JESUS CHRIST

You learned who Jesus truly is:

• Jesus Christ is fully God - He has all the attributes of God

• Jesus Christ is fully human - He has a complete human nature

• Jesus is one person with two distinct natures

• Both natures were necessary for Him to be our Savior

• Jesus never sinned, though He was genuinely tempted

LESSON 10: THE WORK OF CHRIST

You studied what Jesus accomplished:

• Christ lived a perfect life, fulfilling all of God's requirements

• Christ died as our substitute, satisfying God's wrath and paying our debt

• Christ rose from the dead, proving victory over sin and death

• Christ is currently interceding for us in heaven

• Christ will return to complete our salvation

LESSON 11: FAITH AND GRACE

You learned how salvation is received:

• Grace is God's unmerited favor toward undeserving sinners

• Faith is trusting confidence in God and His promises

• Salvation is entirely by grace through faith, not by works

• Good works are the result of salvation, not the cause

LESSON 12: REPENTANCE AND CONVERSION

You discovered the necessity of turning from sin:

• Repentance means changing your mind about sin and turning toward God

• Repentance and faith work together inseparably in conversion

• True repentance produces genuine life change

• Conversion brings new spiritual life and transformation

HOW THE LESSONS CONNECT

THE FOUNDATION: KNOWING GOD AND HIS WORD

Lessons 1-5 established the foundation of your faith:

• How to study God's Word properly

• Who God is and what He is like

• Why we can trust Scripture completely

These lessons prepare you to understand everything else correctly.

THE PROBLEM: HUMANITY'S SIN

Lessons 6-7 showed both humanity's original design and what went wrong:

• We were created in God's image for relationship with Him

• Sin corrupted that relationship and brought death

Understanding the problem helps us appreciate the solution.

THE SOLUTION: GOD'S SALVATION

Lessons 8-12 revealed God's complete plan of salvation:

• What God has done through Jesus Christ

• Who Jesus is and what He accomplished

• How we receive salvation through faith, grace, and repentance

This shows that salvation is God's work from beginning to end.

THE BIG PICTURE

All these lessons work together to tell one story:

1.  God created us for relationship with Him

2. Sin broke that relationship and brought death

3. Jesus came to restore the relationship through His life, death, and resurrection

4. We receive salvation by faith, grace, and repentance

5.  Scripture is our authoritative guide for understanding all of this
